Browns tight end Kellen Winslow's injuries are much more serious than first thought, NewsChannel5 reported. 5 On Your Side Health Team Anchor Lee Jordan reported sources close to the Winslow story said the Sunday motorcycle accident left Winslow with a broken tibia and femur, along with a fracture to the large bone in his thigh. His ACL was damaged, possibly torn and there are lacerations on his liver and kidney. NewsChannel5's source continues to stand by the information.

One media outlet is even suggesting Winslow's football career is over, WEWS reported.

Winslow previously had two surgeries on the right leg the he broke last fall.

He is a jerk, he did it to himself in a non FB thing. I have no sympathy. I am not laughing about it but I sure as hell not shedding any tears for him.

Real soldiers have had much worse done to them. Those men and women I care for.

" . . . broken tibia and femur, along with a fracture to the large bone in his thigh."

Been a while since I worked in the medical field, but I thought the large bone in his thigh was called the femur.

On the other hand, if they are referring to the large bone resting against his thigh, those are some really serious injuries.

Motorcycles and pro athletes just don't mix; Roethlisberger could be the next if he isn't careful.

They meant tibia and fibula, along with a broken femur.

At least he didn't break his lemur.

So does anybody know if this voids his NFL contract?

Suuucks to be him...

I hope he fully recovers and I'd still like to see him play. He and his dad, although incredibly gifted at sticking their foot in their mouth, seem like alright folks.

Wow, I heard that he was more seriously injured than what they first thought, but dang, this sounds much worse.

I may not like his attitude but this just stinks for him and his career.

Theoretically it could...wonder how long until his dad decides to kick his *** for being stupid.

Sounds about 20 years too late. :)

I think that if he can't every play, then it pretty much takes care of his contract. The only outstanding issue is the bonus they gave him. The Browns could go after it if he violated his contract. I am sure all of this will be resolved as his status is determined.

What is that (negative) inspiration poster that says something to the effect of one's life serving as a bad example to others? Winslow Jr. pretty much fits that poster to a T.

Since he hasn't posted this over here, I'll give him the credit:

Now, the funny part... some guy in Cleveland went over to the sport where Winslow flew over the handlebars and took out a shrub...
